Many  musicians,  including  some  that  are  technically  quite  advanced,  never  break  away  from  the  printed  page  to  learn  by  simply  listening  and  re-creating.  The  common  name  for  this  process  is  "playing  by  ear".  With  some  basic  guidelines,  any  musician  with  rudimentary  skills  can  teach  himself  or  herself  to  play  by  ear,  adding  a  new  dimension  to  their  playing  skills.  This  book  teaches  the  5-string  banjoist  to  listen  and  play  solos  and  chord  progressions  by  ear,  providing  essential  ear  training  and  techniques  needed  to  participate  in  jam  sessions  of  all  types!  Chapters  include:  Learning  Chord  Progressions  by  Ear;  Faking  a  Solo;  Playing  the  Melody  by  Ear;  and  Using  Licks.  Written  in  tablature  only.  The  companion  recording  is  in  split-track  format  with  the  melody  track  on  the  left  and  the  rhythm  on  the  right.
